I do enjoy the idea of this one professor trapped in an awful time loop where he has to live through the same 7 years rebooting over and over and nothing he does can stop it.

And now class, we're going to learn the groundhog charm...

Time loop kinda makes sense, considering he de-ages between movie 2 and movie 3...

Was a bit of an accident, if memory serves, he's not actually meant to be playing Flitwick the first time he looks like that, but everyone assumed otherwise, so they just rolled with it.

Oh, interesting! I thought it was just Alfonso Cuarón deciding to re-imagine the character 😅

As did everyone else, heh. Understandable, given all the stylist changes Cuarón introduced, but yeah, the Choirmaster was just meant to be a brief cameo for Davis as Flitwick had been cut from the PoA script.

Columbus gets the credit for establishing the world of the movies, but I reckon Cuarón had the bigger, longer term impact on their style. (Even - as with Flitwick - where it wasn't necessarily intentional!)

Oh, indeed. For better or for worse, pretty much every major stylistic change he made stuck around until the end. Personally I'm hoping they stick with the Columbus style this time...
